Few fish care for their young, but the mouth-breeder does so by sheltering them in her mouth when danger threatens. She spits the young out when it is safe.
The Bear Facts
The Bear Facts Male black bears can weigh up to 360 kilograms
(800 lbs) and are very powerful. Black bears can experience grumpy
moods, especially in spring when they are hungry. In late summer,
bears consume about 20,000 calories per day, which is about five
times their normal feeding rate. They must put on a fat layer of
about 12.7 centimetres (5 inches) to survive the winter. Bears
often spend the winters at the bases of tree stumps, in root
cavities, in trees, in beds of sticks and leaves, and even under
highways! Bears are excellent swimmers and tree climbers, and very
fast runners. SEPTEMBER, 2000
